Without the benefits of digital technologies – reduced costs, improved efficiency and increased safety and sustainability – the sector won’t be able to realise its true potential. What are the barriers that are stalling digital progress in nuclear? Above: It’s not necessarily digital technologies that are risky, it’s the people operating them Fully decarbonising the energy system will require a massive increase in new carbon-free electricity generation to be built each year. In the UK, for example, the net zero target date is 2035 that means up to 16 GW of new generating assets must be built each year, every year. It’s an unprecedented feat and equal to what was built in the five years between 2017 and 2021. Collectively, it is the equivalent of building the UK’s entire energy system twice over, in a little more than a decade. Nuclear has been identified as a crucial player in achieving net zero, however we now need to find ways to not only increase the pace of new build developments but also extend the useful life of existing plants. The answer lies with digital transformation. Digital can make a difference at every point of the nuclear lifecycle, and so it’s […]
